📰 The Rock N Roll Suicide – Advert (UK) : Apr 1974

David Bowie’s The Rock N Roll Suicide appeared as a one‑page advert in Melody Maker on April 13, 1974, promoting the reissued Ziggy‑era single during Bowie’s rapid post‑Ziggy transition. The campaign leveraged the enduring power of the track’s dramatic finale while aligning with RCA’s strategy of keeping Bowie’s earlier catalogue visible as he moved into the soul‑infused Diamond Dogs period.
